Custom Beef Grind and Homemade Big Mac

The Big Mac is inarguably an American icon, and like it or not, it molds the country’s global image much like the United States Constitution, NASA’s Mars Explorations, as well as the Kardashians…  

McDonald’s Big Mac, in theory, is lavish and pretty to look at with its two all-beef patties snuggled up against the special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, and sesame seed buns blanketing the entire crew from both sides. Even though it has become quite fashionable to blurt out disgust and signal being above fast food, you have to admit to the irresistible beauty of a Big Mac. It has all the things in all the right places, and in the right proportions, a work of art, where despite the overwhelming tall stack of fillings, Big Mac’s sweet and squishy bread melts down into a thin sheet making it take a bite so that each morsel has a little bit of the meat, the sauce, the pickles, and the cheese. The sesame bun maintains the entire structural integrity of a Big Mac while maintaining its own integrity where it is neither overwhelming nor easily dissolved in all the flavors.

However, every rose has its thorn. Our darling Big Mac is not without its flaws.

We are here to patch up the loose ends and rectify the less-than-perfect Big Mac, which doesn’t necessarily mean jumbo-sizing the patties because that winds up throwing off the delicate harmony between all of its constituents. Our improvement plans are as follows

• Fix the quality of the beef patties, which don’t exactly measure up, by grinding your own.
• Add a bit of texture to the not-so-secret sauce responsible for most of Big Mac’s identity.
• Use fresh shredded iceberg lettuce.
• Add a couple of extra crispy pickles that actually crunch under the teeth.
• Position the cheese so that it doesn’t offend a sensible person when it’s placed between a warm meat patty and cold bread.
• Keep the sweet sesame bun, it is perfect just the way it is.

We don’t care for onions in our burgers but feel free to do your thing with them. Follow our instructions for constructing an awesome and genius Big Mac that will actually make you happy.
